CONFUSION OVER
WHO FIRST ASKEE
TROOPS FOR B. E. F
Department of Justice and
Washington, D. C Police
in Dispute and Both Issue
Conflicting Statements
WABHINOTOK, Bept. 13. (AP)
Just who first advised using troop
In the bonus army disturbance of
July 38 was In dispute today, with
tha District of Columbia commit'
sloners Joining the Justice depart'
ment designating the police and the
police chief Issuing a public denial.
The dispute began witn a ataie
ment by Brigadier General Pelham D.
Olauford, discussing assertions In
Attorney General Mitchell's report to
Prr-tfdent Hoover on the bonus
marchers. The police head aald some
of these were "In conflict with po
lice records or with facts known to
the police department."
Included waa a denial that Qlsss-
ford had "replied In the affirmative1
when "asked the direct question
whether he thought It was neces-
aary to secure the assistance of fed-
eral troops.' Instead, Olassford' aald
"I stated that the police could
hold the area which had been re.
possessed during the morning. 1
stated that If further efforts toward
evicting the veterans by the police
was Insisted upon that afternoon,
there would doubtless be more riot
ing and possible bloodshed.
"I recommended that should fur
ther evicting be required that day,
the federal troops should be called
- upon to do It."
Boon after Olassford Issued hit
statement, the Justice department
made publlo the copy of a letter re
celved from the board of commit-
sloners on August 3. It stated that
Olassford had conferred with the
. commissioners soon after t&e first
clash with veterans and said'
'The former (Olassford) waa asked
by the commissioners if the situs-
tlon was out of his control, to which
he replied in the affirmative.
Major Olaeeford further etated tn
substance tbst the police could no
longer hold the bonus marchers In
check,
"He was then asked a direct ques
tion whether he thought tt neces
sary to secure the assistance of fed
eral troops, to which he replied he
did."
- The justice department added!
"No doubt the oommlssloner will
confirm the accuracy of the atate-
, aiantA e-mtalned In tills letter. They
lire alar confirmed by written state
ments tn the possession of the de
partment, made a few days after the
- riots, by responsible police officials
who were acting with Major Olass
ford during the course of the riots
on July 38."
Last eight the commissioner la-
sued a reply to Olassford. It said
"The commissioners of the District
of Columbia assert positively that
Major Olasaford stated to them the
situation In the affected area was
' beyond the control of the police;
that in response to a dlreot question
as to whether the presence of troops
was necessary, Major Olassford stated
positively that the presence of troops
waa necessary.
"Two of the commlatlonert then
Visited the scene of- the disturbance
and likewise were convinced that the
presence of troops was necessary If
law and order were to be restored
and preserved. They thereupon asked
that troops be eent to the effected
area.
"The commissioners believe that
the presence of troops alone prevent
ed more serious bloodshed and far
greater disorder."
Olasaford 's statement also took
authorities to task for not advising
him When the troops were called.
"The Information came to me first
from a newspaper reporter. I
waa In command at the aoene of a
difficult situation which waa vitally
affected by the call for federal
troops. I have never been Informed
why the commissioners did not no-
tlty me Instantly when the troops
were called."

the Legion. The committee, headed
by Jack McCann of Philadelphia, Is
considering bids from Miami for

PORTLAND, Bept. 18 (AFj Owing
to the state holiday created for the
big parade of the American Legion,
there was no trading today on the
Portland livestock alleys. The grain
markets were also closed locally, both
the merchant exchange and t-he
Portland futuree market euspendtng
operations for ths day. Other whole
sale markete were open, but there
was little activity.
Butter trade conditions continue
to reflect steadiness In the local ter
ritory. Decrease In the output of the
entire country is generally noted with
sn especially liberal loss reflected In
churning throughout the Pacific
northwest. This Is a seasonable con
dltlon and Is due to the protracted
dry weather.
Prices were unchanged for cubes
during the late eesslon of the pro
duce ezchsngs snd on the open msr
ket a simitar condition was reflected.
Demand, however, continues best for
those offerings below extra grade.
Market for butterfat reflect strength
with prices practically -uniform In
all sections of the Portland trade ter
ritory.
Eastern butter trade conditions are
practically the same aa thoee shown
locally.
General trading In the egg market
appears of strong character despite
the offering of considerable under
grade atuff to large consumers by
outsiders. .
Real strength appears In the mar
ket for live chickens. There Is ar
especially strong tone In the springer
market, but all prices are firm at full
figures generally.
Rather limited call Is reflected for
live broiler turkeys In the local trade
with the best offerings moving slowly
around 17 a 18c lb. Dressed old stock
Is unchanged at late figures.
Trade In peachea la very disap
pointing, according to local distrib
utors. Even the record low values
recently In effect here have failed
to stimulate demand to tha point
where cleanups are show" dally.
The Bt. Louis art museum possesses
what Is rated as one of the finest
collections of Chinese art In this
country.
The sloop.yaoht "Nebula." a 18-
gross ton vessel built In. 1888 In Bos

vessel of Its type remaining In serv
ice In the United States.
Forty-eight per cent of the total
United States output of standard
typewriters,' according to commerce
department figures, was shipped to

night. The entire buslneis dlatrtct

bunt new houses will close and traffic
will be routed around It,
Meanwhile proprietors of soft-drink
parlors converted to "dug-outs" by
the addition of Imitation log front
and real alcohol to the beverages on
Hals' discovered that federal and city
authorities had not declared a mora
torium on the prohibition law.
When a series of raids were over,
the dry a had confiscated hundreds of
gallons of liquor, arrested a number
of proprietors, but no Legionnaires.
The local federals were assisted by
a squad from Seattle.
Never before had Portland ' seen
such a sight as the 40 and 8 parade
which was viewed by great throngs
of persons last night. For two hours
seemingly endless stream of ex-
servicemen, members of the 40 and 8
fun and service group. In a rainbow
of colors, marching with apparently
an Inexhaustible variety of drum
corps and bands, entertained thous
ands of residents and visitors who
lined tha downtown streets. From
color bearers and national champion
osnd of Fargo, N. D., at the lead, to
the last of the floats, the parade was
cheered.
One of the most popular drum
corps In this parade was that from
La Grande, Ore., a marching mob of
skeletons with drum corps and- a big
black box draped with the Inscription
lath amendment." Another outfit
that drew applause was the drum and
bugle corps representing the Monte
rey Peninsula, Cal., volture. With
brilliant maneuvers, these men, garb
ed In wine-colored Jackets and shin
ing silver helmets, were acclaimed
along the line of march.

, SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 13(APJ
Raised from the sea by a fishing
boat's trawler net. Vie skeleton of
a sllver-hued navy pursuit mono
plane presented a problem for naval
authorities here today.
Its wings gone, Its propeller arid
nose snapped off and its fuselage
ripped to shreds, tha wreck was
towed through the Golden Gate Into
San Francisco bay last night.
Louis Baracoo, captain of the fish
ing boat, aald the nets snagged the
plane In 50 fathoms of water 13 miles
southwest by south of the San Fran
cisco lightship.
The question of whether the mon
oplane had carried a pilot to death
remained unanswered. Navy head
quarters here had no record of a
missing plane and requested the
commander of the aircraft forces at
San Diego to take up the lnvestlga
tlon.
II vac thought the craft may .have
been an experimental plane from one
of the navy's aircraft carriers. Fisher
men estimated It had been In the
water about a year.
